Mother!
If you think you’re just a housewife And your life is dull and drear
Because you don’t bring home the pay And you don’t have a career.
‘Cause you don’t get out amongst the crowd,To find out all that’s new,
Just listen for a moment For I have news for you.
There’s not a more important work Throughout all the land,
Because you have the power To change the world within your hand.
So bring up your children In the best way that you know.
For the way they are brought up Is the way the world will go.
They’ll be leaders or followers In twenty years or so
And their leadership will hinge On everything they know.
So bring them up in the ways of God So they may understand
If He’s the ruler of their life Then He will rule the land.
This is the only hope we have For peace and joy, we know.
So mother, you must do your best. It’s the only way to go.
So mother, don’t you feel left out. You’re indispensable, my dear,
For the way the world will go Depends on your career.
